My mother, Mary Kathryn Campbell, became “Vacation Queen” in May 1948, when Jack Bailey’s show was a radio program. She won with a 25-words-or-less answer to why she would like to be Vacation Queen. I have the original letters, photos and news articles. She was interviewed nation-wide as she traveled in a trailer caravan across the country. She passed away in 1952 when I was almost three. I’d naturally be delighted (and astonished) to locate any old recordings of those interviews.

Anyone who owns the DVD happen to know if there is a contestant named Francis Snell on the surviving 7 episodes? It was my grandmother and I would love to have this tape for my dad and our family.

Deb, I know you said you had the DVD… I hate to ask it – and I know that there’s little chance, given the sheer number of people on here looking for their mothers/grandmothers, but my grandma was Eva Crossman. She won the show sometime in the late 50s or early 60s… If she’s on the DVD, I’d love to buy it or get a copy somehow!

My great-grandmother, Dorthey Lea Yates, won Queen for a Day, in 1959. She was a deaf-mute. She went on the show with her oldest daughter. My grandmother tells stories of all the prizes her mom won. They were a poor family of seven, and the show gave them tons of things for Christmas. I would love to find this tape for my grandmother who is ill. It would make her very happy to see her mother again.

My grandmother, Marie Lazo won Queen for a Day. I don’t recall the year but it had to be in the early 50’s as i can recall her having the May Tag washer and pictures were posted of her crowned,robed and holding roses.
It would be touching and so wonderful to be able to see and hear her again.

My mother Helen Joyce Bailey or she may have went by Helen Joyce Johnson won on Queen for a day also and she passed away when I was 13 that was 32 year ago and sisters and I would like to find the episode on which she won also. Does anyone know how to find the episodes. We think she was on in the years 1958 and 1963 with Jack Bailey as the host. If someone could let me know if My mother was on any of the shows that you have seen????

Trying to get information on the Queen for a Day episode sometime in July 1959, regarding my mother Wanda Josepine Ferguson. Our father took his 6 children and went to Mexico. I have a photo of mom with Jack Bailey and we have her Queen for a Day watch, but I always thought it was July 1958. Just trying to put some pieces together in my life. How can I get this information, as I have searched and searched the internet. Just trying to get a copy of the show and the exact date.
Cheers,
